Is it only the top players who
get recruited?
No. In fact, often the
top athletes don't get offers because they don't
understand the recruiting process and simply expect to
be discovered, while students with not as much
athletic talent get lots of offers because they know
how to research schools and market themselves.
Does the My Game Plan program
really work?
Yes! Every athlete in
the program has received personal communication from
college coaches, and over 80% of participants have
continued to compete in the college ranks. In
some areas of the country we have helped to more than
triple the number of athletes taking their game to the
collegiate level.
How does My Game Plan identify
colleges for each student-athlete?
We have a custom
database of more than 1,800 colleges and the sports
they offer (even bowling and rifle).
Participants complete our simple “School Selection
Survey” which allows us to sort by region, state,
academic strength, average GPA, specific majors
offered, type of institution, specific scholarship
programs, and level of college play.
Will I violate any NCAA recruiting regulations by
using a service to help me in the process?
No. The NCAA amateurism
rule 12.3.3.1 regarding talent evaluation services and
agencies says, “A prospect may allow a scouting
service or agent to distribute personal information
(e.g., high-school academic and athletics records,
physical statistics) to member institutions without
jeopardizing his or her eligibility, provided the fee
paid to such an agent is not based on placing the
prospect in a collegiate institution as a recipient of
institutional financial aid.” You can’t use an
agent to represent you, agencies can’t charge a fee
contingent on you signing or taking a percent of that
signing, and the fee can’t be adjusted for different
athletes. Click

regarding agencies. With My Game Plan
you pay a one-time fee to help you understand the
process, make a good college choice, and get a quick
start on getting your name out to coaches of schools
that matter to you.
When is the time to start the
recruiting process?
The Athlete Advising
program works best when students start early junior
year when you have enough information to match
colleges with your academics, interests, and
athletics. Some athletes join our program sophomore
year to make sure they don’t miss any steps in the
process as well as have another summer to attend
college athletic camps. You may start the
program in your senior year, but some opportunities
may be lost.
Can I do the recruiting process
on my own?
Absolutely, but most
don’t understand all the steps to take (we’ll show
you), don’t know which schools and coaches to contact
(we’ll identify them for you), don’t have the time it
takes to get started (we do the initial work for you),
or don’t want to spend the money to do all that is
needed independently (our system saves for you).
Is there really athletic money
out there?
Yes. Over
500,000 athletes compete at the college level, with
over $1 billion in scholarship money. Many
coaches actively seek quality athletes to give this
to, and many quality athletes miss the opportunity
because they don’t know how to let coaches know who
they are.
